Aortoduodenal fistula after transperitoneal repair of an inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction: An aortoduodenal fistula is a potentially lethal complication after transperitoneal open repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Case Report: A 77-year-old Caucasian male who underwent a conventional repair of an inflammatory infrarenal aortic aneurysm, was readmitted with hematemesis only six weeks after surgery. Gastroscopy and computed tomography angiography indicated an aortoduodenal fistula and urgent aortic reconstruction was performed. An aortoduodenal fistula is a potentially lethal complication after transperitoneal open repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Conclusion: An aortoduodenal fistula seldom occurs as early after conventional transperitoneal open aneurysm repair as in our case. The early occurrence of the aortoduodenal fistula can be explained by the inflammatory character of the aneurysm. (This page in not part of the published article.)

An Aortoenteric Fistula Arising after Endovascular Management of a Mycotic Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Complicated with a Psoas Abscess
Mycotic aortic aneurysms account for 1–3% of all aortic aneurysms. The management of this disease is controversial. Since open surgical repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, endovascular aneurysm repair is an alternative treatment method with promising early and midterm outcomes, although its long-term durability is unknown.Secondary aortoenteric fistulas may occur iatro...

We describe a case of fatal gastrointestinal bleeding probably caused by an aortoduodenal fistula following open surgical repair of an inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) during postoperative steroid therapy. A 71-year old man underwent a graft replacement for an inflammatory AAA. Prolonged elevated C-reactive protein and newly emerged ascites after surgery were improved by oral admini...

INTRODUCTION Although gastrointestinal haemorrhage from aortoduodenal fistulae secondary to previous aortic grafts are well known, a primary fistula from an aortic aneurysm is a rare consideration resulting in inappropriate management and poor outcomes. CASE PRESENTATION We report a previously fit 65-year-old Sri Lankan man who presented with severe anaemia (haemoglobin, 6 gm/dl), recent onse...
متن کاملA Case of Primary Aortoduodenal Fistula and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in a Patient with Chronic Q Fever.
A 70-year-old man was successfully treated for an aortoduodenal fistula originating from a Q fever-related abdominal aortic aneurysm. He had no known history of contact with cattle or sheep. Although the combination of abdominal aortic aneurysm and aortoduodenal fistula is rare, one should be suspicious of Q fever infection as the causative agent, and additional medical treatment should be init...
متن کاملPrimary aortoduodenal fistula – a rare clinical entity
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a very serious and rare communication between the lumen of the aorta and that of the duodenum. When such a fistula occurs in the absence of previous aortic aneurysm surgery, it is called a primary aortoduodenal fistula (PADF), a condition much less frequent than a secondary aortoduodenal fistula which occurs as a result of previous aortic aneurysm grafting. Th...
